Jiangmen's direct daughter is busy farming

Chapter 272 The Secret (2)
The battle situation is worrying, the emperor has already ordered Song Zhanyuan to lead 20 Northern Army soldiers to Beicheng, and Song Zhanwei escorted the food and grass to go with him.

Nanjiang City was fortunate to have Xiao Chenming lead the army to fight. I heard that he fought the enemy bravely, but the people of Nanman Kingdom did not take advantage of it for a while.

However, the emperor still ordered Major General Kang Chengao of General Xiping's Mansion to lead an army of [-] to Nanjiang City for reinforcements.

Dongjiang City was led by Mr. Song himself, accompanied by young generals such as Xiao Chenliang, Song Jingrui, and Song Jingkuan, leading 20 soldiers and horses to the border city overnight.

As for Xicheng, which has the least power but the most complicated environment, the emperor ordered Yue Wang Xiao Chenyu to lead 20 soldiers and horses to fight.

And the important task of defending the capital fell into the hands of the virtuous king, and the emperor gave him one hundred thousand elite soldiers to guard the imperial city.

The emperor's decisive dispatch of troops not only caught Ling Lanjie's party by surprise, but also the other countries that took the initiative to provoke. When did the emperor of the Xi Dynasty, whose power was almost emptied, have so many elite soldiers in his hands? How did the [-] troops suddenly appear?

Just like everyone's doubts, Jingyue didn't know what was going on, it was Xiao Chenyu who gave her the answer: "Yue'er, you shouldn't have forgotten the rumor about the soldier talisman back then! That was your masterpiece, actually , from very early on, my father, my uncle, my father-in-law and I have secretly summoned soldiers and horses for secret training. This time, when a war broke out, our troops were combined into one place, and then deployed by my father, which just confirmed If the matter of the military talisman is removed, it will not cause controversy among others, and at the same time, it can also bring these people to the public to deter Ling Lanjie and his followers, so that they will not dare to act rashly in the capital, otherwise it will be a catastrophe."

"It turns out that each of you is a hidden master, and I'm just a small character playing drums and drums." Jingyue said with a smile.

"How can you say that? If it weren't for the 'soldier talisman' you made up back then, I'm afraid Ling Lanjie would make a big fuss about the military training incident afterward, saying that the emperor, my father-in-law, and I have the intention of treason , there will be more troubles at that time. Ling Lanjie has nothing to say now, and he can no longer use his military power to coerce his father. As for his bastards, the evidence of crimes committed over the years are in the hands of his father and uncle. After you stabilize, come back and deal with them." Xiao Chenyu said harshly.

"Aren't you afraid that they will jump over the wall?" Jingyue asked.

"Don't worry, father and uncle are here, they dare not move! Tomorrow I will go to Xicheng to fight against Ximo Kingdom, and I will leave the black guards to you." Xiao Chenyu was worried that Ye Yuntian would take advantage of his absence When Jingcheng came to take Jingyue away, so he would feel more at ease by leaving more people to protect her.

"Yu, just now I have asked for an order to go to the west city together, and the emperor has already agreed, so the guards in black will stay by your side to protect the safety of Prince Yue and Princess Yue!" Jingyue said with a sly smile.

"Yue'er, what do you mean—" Xiao Chenyu seemed to understand the meaning of Jingyue's words.

"That's what you think!" Jingyue nodded and said.

The next day, everyone in the capital knew that Prince Yue and Concubine Yue led the troops to the west city together. Apart from her four personal maids, there was also a team of black-clothed guards following Princess Yue.

From this day on, the gates of the Yue Palace began to be closed. The master was not at home, so naturally no visitors came to the door.Coincidentally, Lord Yipinliang Guantian also went back to his hometown to visit his relatives on vacation, and the affairs of the greenhouse were fully entrusted to Lord Sun and Lord Zhang Yuzhang.

More than ten days later, a summer thunderstorm brought good news to the long-drought Weizhou, diluting some of the panic caused by the cut off of the salt supply in the East China Sea.The people all hope that after the storm, good news will come from the border, and life will return to normal again.

In an inconspicuous secret house in Weizhou, there is a curl of cooking smoke, and occasionally the sound of wood, iron, stones, etc., and the sound of light or heavy footsteps can be heard, but no voice can be heard .

Suddenly, all the voices stopped, and then there was the sound of talking at the back door of the house, and then the back door was pulled open from the inside, and a somewhat scruffy, thin boy came out, followed by a grim-faced, about the same size as him man.

The two walked unhurriedly, one after the other, without speaking a word, until they walked into the back hall of the grain store on the busiest street in Yizhou City, the thin young man let out a breath slowly.

"Lengmei, have you found the private salt seller?" The scruffy boy's voice was like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, but it was Ying Yuan's Jingyue in the west city.

"Miss, I have found it. However, the leader of the Salt Gang was killed by the Fifth Prince of the East China Sea in order to smuggle salt from the East China Sea to Xichao. I only had time to save his son." Leng Mei replied.

"Although the leader of the Salt Gang violated the law of the Xi Dynasty by selling private salt, he is a chivalrous man. This time, the East China Sea Kingdom tried to cut off the salt to blackmail the Xi Dynasty. He risked his life to steal the salt. It was a heroic act. By the way , What is the name of this man's son?" Jingyue developed respect for the leader of the Salt Gang who had never met before, and at the same time became interested in his son, and was able to smuggle him with his father at the risk of beheading. Salt, this person must have good temperament.

"It's called Qin Huai. I've arranged for him to stay in a secret room in the Qibao Building. He can come to see you, miss, in two days!" said Leng Mei.

"Don't worry, domestic table salt can last for a while now, and we have developed a lot of well salt. I believe this problem will be solved soon." Jingyue said.

As soon as the Donghai Kingdom decided to provoke the Xi Dynasty, it cut off all the channels for transporting salt, hoping to arouse the resentment of the people of the Xi Dynasty and cause a crisis within the Xi Dynasty.

At the beginning, this practice of Donghai Kingdom did cause the creek to boil up and down, but soon the emperor ordered people to post the emperor's list in various places, saying that the royal family had already planned to build several large salt warehouses, just to prepare for accidents. The common people can rest assured that they will not be afraid of running out of salt for 50 to [-] years.After hearing the news, the restless hearts of the people calmed down a little.

Jingyue didn't go to Xicheng with Xiao Chenyu at the beginning, because she had more important things to do, but in order to confuse Ye Yuntian, she made Quartz disguise herself, and made Leng Yu, Lengshuang and other disguises Cheng Lengye and Lengmei's two maids went to the West City together. Only in this way can she do what she wants more freely.

After Xiao Chenyu's army left the capital, Jingyue, who had also changed her appearance, took Leng Ye and Leng Mei to various food bases to personally issue orders, asking them to be responsible for the food and grass supply of an army in a border city, and absolutely not let the people in front The soldiers had no food to eat.

When she was in the process of allocating grain and heard that Xichao's country was becoming tense for salt due to the East China Sea, she rushed to the house where the secret well salt was developed in Weizhou, and personally instructed the workers to speed up the production of well salt. During this process, she He also accidentally heard about the Salt Gang, and felt the righteousness of the leader of the Salt Gang, so he sent Leng Mei to help them secretly.
